"This is a very useful book for anyone interested in learning the basics of this emerging and important research and clinical tool. I highly recommend it."--Doody's

"This volume describes the current state-of-the-art for a broad range of clinical entities, and as such, fills an important gap in the market...In summary, this is a very well written work, which forms an excellent introduction to the clinical applications of fMRI for the uninitiated. The editors, by concentrating solely on clinical uses, have produced a book that now occupies a uniqueniche."--European Journal of Radiology

"This book gives a thoroughly comprehensive and technical review of the understanding to date of how fMRI works, the limitations of its applications, the possibilities it opens up with regards to diagnosis and assessing treatment effects, and discusses some of the potential for fMRI in clinical practice in the not-too-distant future.The chapters within the book are all written by world learders in their field and provide a wealth of information about the topic; the book is well-produced with many detailed diagrams and pictures of fMRIs to illustrate the points made by the authors."--British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing
